The One Tree Planted Initiative
At Probox we are proud of our on-going partnership with One Tree Planted, an organisation dedicated to global reforestation. Together, we will strive to make a positive impact on the environment by planting more trees and working towards carbon neutrality by 2050.
What is One Tree Planted?
One Tree Planted is a non-profit organisation that aims to make it easy for people to contribute to the environment by planting trees. They partner with hundreds of local communities and experts in different countries to carry out tree-planting projects around the world, with the goal of positively impacting nature, communities, and wildlife.
What role does Probox take?
We are working with One Tree Planted, to help with reforestation around the world. This reforestation is critical to protecting the climate, forests and to build communities.
One Tree Planted runs reforestation projects across North America, Latin America, Asia, Africa and Europe.
As part of our sustainability promise and our support of COP26, we would like to give back to the environment and support climate action targets.
For every Probox order, we pledge to plant a tree; with the overall aim to plant 1000’s of trees a year to support our environment and protect our future.
We look forward to your support in helping us grow our forest to mitigate carbon, create climate resilience and grow a brighter future. Not only does this help to offset our avoidable carbon emissions, but it also offers great social and environmental benefits, providing biodiversity, jobs and food to communities, promoting wellness, regulates the climate and maintains the Earth’s natural water cycles.
This year we have planted
6,753 trees
as of August 2024
Why are trees so important to the environment?
Trees have been on our earth for thousands of years; and form a vital part of our planet’s ecosystem. They cannot move but can breathe like humans. Trees and any green living plant absorb carbon dioxide. They extract the carbon and release the oxygen in a process called photosynthesis, which is powered by sunlight. This provides us with pure and free oxygen!
We all rely on trees and their products: oxygen, fruits, wood, water, medicines and soil nutrients to name a few. They not only give life, but they also improve livelihoods.
One day’s worth of oxygen for a family of four is provided by a single tree!
